In a world filled with vibrant colors and lively scenes, there exists a doleful presence that captivates the soul, and is as if the Wild smooth knob-tailed gecko (Nephrurus levis) with its regenerated tail stands against a backdrop of spinifex and mallee, silently longing for something lost. Its eyes reflect pain and sorrow, much like Pain's haunting masterpiece from 1918, where blood and charcoal intertwine on paper to create an unsettling image. Amidst this melancholic atmosphere, we find a Girl in Grey-blue delicately putting on her glove in an act of quiet resignation. The oil on canvas painting from c. 1889 captures her essence perfectly - she exudes both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. A similar sentiment echoes through Pain's works from 1918-19; they speak volumes about the human condition, reminding us of our shared struggles. As we delve deeper into this realm of dolefulness, we encounter Little Market Woman depicted in multiple color lithographs. Her weary gaze tells tales of hardship endured while trying to make ends meet. In contrast to these somber depictions stands An Exile of the 45 - an oil on canvas masterpiece that portrays resilience amidst adversity. Amongst all these artistic expressions lies D the Doleful by John Hassall; his portrayal evokes sympathy for this character who carries sadness within their very name. And yet, even amidst such desolation, glimpses of hope emerge - embodied by Boyish Hairstyle from the 1950s which symbolizes youthful innocence untouched by life's hardships. These various artworks remind us that dolefulness can be found in unexpected places – it transcends time periods and mediums alike. Each piece invites contemplation upon our own emotions and experiences; they serve as mirrors reflecting back fragments of our own souls.
